Re: How to install ACT 5 or 6 in Windows 7 64-bit

I have ACT 6.0.3 running great under Win 7 x64.... BUT the word processor does not. Neither ACT's own nor MS Word

( I use Word 2002 part of Small Business XP) when I point to that in preferences.

Word is offered in the preferences > general > word processor alterantives drop down. So I fugure ACT has found my installation of MS word but the link appears missing when I try to write a letter and I get Word Processor not found reports.

Have you a word processor running and if so did you do anything special to enable it?

Hi Roy,

BTW cannot get rid of te strikethrough....

I want to retain the autodialer and i like being able to read correspondence from the history panel without recourse to different windows/actions other than a double click. Essentially paying for an upgrade did not make sense given two key benefits, for me, would be missing.

Re: How to install ACT 5 or 6 in Windows 7

BTW my ACT WP does operate from within ACT so it has to be an installation issue.

I have W7 x64 ultimate and ACT 6.0.3

I have to disagree. Starting with ACT! 3 and running through ACT! 6, the ACT! word processor didn't operate from within the ACT! program but through registry links the same a when using Word as the word processor for ACT! 6. The problem points to registry issues.
